I remember a cooperative online game, with a mostly text-only interface, in which you could build smelters and tools and climb gradually the tech tree. It was very detailed and interesting but I lost track of its name and URL. Does it ring a bell for anybody?
- lzm 15y agoDwarf Fortress, perhaps?
- teamonkey 15y agoThat's probably what he means, but the same is true for the more-accessible Minecraft.

- IsaacL 15y agoSounds like my own game, Shintolin (http://www.shintolin.co.uk http://www.shintolin.co.uk). It was a mostly text-based multiplayer game set in the stone age, where players started from scratch but could gradually develop the tools to build a village and farm. I planned to have a whole technology progression through bronze and iron age technology, but I stopped working on it a while ago (it still has a few players though). Don't know if it's the one you're talking about.
- ramchip 15y agoThat's not it, but thanks for the input. It's interesting that you've released the source.
- jholman 15y agoA Tale In The Desert ( atitd.com ) is a subscription graphical MMO which has some limited properties in common with what you describe. It's cooperative, it's not graphically sophisticated, and collaboratively climbing a (relatively shallow) tech tree is the main goal of the game.
